Microsoft | Security Software Engineer | Cheltenham, UK | ONSITE How would you like to be on the front lines of Microsoft's battle with 0-day security vulnerabilities, hackers, and active cyber-attacks? Do you like getting your hands dirty digging into vulnerabilities to learn what makes them tick and how they might be used maliciously? Do you also enjoy the thought of competing with security researchers around the world searching for never before seen vulnerabilities? The MSRC Vulnerabilities & Mitigations group is looking for a Security Software Engineer to join a highly technical team, whose mission is to protect 440 million people from software vulnerabilities. Candidates must have experience in finding vulnerabilities, and assessing the severity and exploitation potential of vulnerabilities. We are interested in applicants with a broad range of skills, who are able to find vulnerabilities via penetration testing, code review, reverse engineering, or using tools. The capability to develop vulnerability detection tools, e.g. scanners, fuzzers, and static analysers, is essential.
